 | Comments: |
Perfect September weather for Baxter State Park. Coe slide was very wet and the lower part was quite slippery. Toward the top there were a couple slippery spots. Trail over Coe and spur to South Brother were fine. Running water on Marston trail climbing to North Brother. Bushwhack to Fort took an hour each way. There is a herd path of sorts though sometimes hard to see unless looking at your feet. There are small cairns where the path approaches between the two summits of Fort. All in all a spectacular day. |
